Panda antics on the console? No way!

I'm not always the first to jump on movie titles, but if the game would hold any remote link to the trailer you're about to see then I might make an exception -- not so much based on the story but simply because it looks like a lot of fun, in the vein of classic melee-action games. Although, I may very well just be coming off a Devil May Cry fix that has left me wanting to smash down mass amounts of foes in a new story I haven't seen yet.

The game is pretty straighforward though, you can read the details after the vid.

 

 

Here are some Kung Fu Panda details:

 

    • Master Po’s signature “Panda Style” maneuvers, including the Panda Quake, Panda Stumble and Iron Belly Blast.  Plus earn awesome Kung Fu upgrades increasing Po’s strength, speed and agility, as he progresses from the unlikely hero to the powerful Dragon Warrior.
    • Play as Po’s teacher, Shifu, the quick, agile and impressively skilled Kung Fu master.  Players make use of Shifu’s wisdom and speed to perfect his whirlwind techniques.
    • Take control of the daring Tigress, and utilize her fluid and powerful moves focusing on fast, stylized combat that allows gamers to master the Leaping Force and Tiger Charge maneuvers. 
    • Monkey’s spring-loaded tail attacks and explosive style make him one of the fastest Kung Fu masters around. His acrobatic abilities will let players execute a variety of lightening-fast platforming moves.
    • Viper’s snake-like stealth abilities allow gamers to utilize her stealth abilities to pull off such moves as the Umbrella, Enemy Taxi and Choking Coil attacks.
    • Players will soar with Crane’s Surface-to-Air Attacks using his graceful and light footed movements, which allow them to Fly, Glide and Swoop.
    • Although the smallest of the Furious Five, Mantis’ super strength, strong grab maneuvers and super quick burst moves will allow players to deliver powerful and paralyzing strikes to foes.

Kung Fu Panda will be arriving on the PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PC this May, pricing actually varies quite a bit so here's the breakdown.

Wii, 360, PS3 - $49.99
PS2 - $39.99
Nintendo DS - $29.99
PC - $19.99

Kinda odd seeing the PC with a $20 tag, but it's not a typo, those looking to get the game at the cheapest pricepoint with a decent rig might want to look there for the game.

Although I feel the need to be offended by this, I am somehow very amused.
